I couldn’t make up a more ridiculous story if I tried. Also this should provide a glimps into why my posts so often contain annoying typos.
My mother in law, her husband, along with my siblings in law all came over for dinner tonight. So we’re playing Taboo and I and went full dyslexic on two of my words. One was Noose and the other was Diary. But I read them as Snooze and Dairy. Both my wife and sister in law were watching to make sure I didn’t use the wrong words, and neither of them corrected me until my round was up. Needless to say I was embarrassed. Also I found out the stress of competition, and resulting adrenaline makes my dyslexia worse! Yay! Probably why I’m freaking awful at Boggle.
And yes I take silly games seriously, my Dad was a very competitive guy “if you don’t want to win, why bother playing”. The day I beat him in Monopoly was a joyous occasion.

What I find strange is dyslexia is one of those words hated by people who have it, like lisp and stutter.

When I was a teenager (decades ago) I cranked the ol’ noggin’ pretty hard snowboarding. I’m guessing I was around 15. Back then it was considered a mild concussion. I finished riding out the day and then went on like nothing happened. I think these days it might have led to further investigation...
Anyway, for about a year afterwards I would sometimes take ALL the words of a sentence I was trying to say (only happened verbally) and would mash them into one word. Example: “The other day I saw a brown cat ” might come out as “The other day I sawnat ”. It mostly went away after that year, but every now and again it pops up in my speech. The really odd thing is it always works out phonetically; as in the “word” is pronounceable and repeatable. Made oral presentations awkward, but at least everyone around me knew what was happening.

I think Lisp and Stutter are probably worse for those that suffer from those issues. It is certainly not easy, but then most words are. Bed is far worse.

I like your dad.
My wife beat me at Risk once and has refused to play me since. She’s afraid of interrupting her winning streak. The kids won’t play Clue with her any more. She wins. Every. Freaking. Time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of my idiosyncrasies developed after a concussion. I’ve had a few bad ones. I had a caneo dropped on my head, I fell about 6 feet onto concrete directly on to my head, and few other times where I’m not exactly sure it was a concussion. But both of those times involved blackouts and memory loss.
The moral of the story: I should probably be more careful with my head.

Damn, I just read dairy too... Had to re-read it twice to realize it was diary first.
